Week 6: Getting Impatient

My face does not want to get better! :( The acne on my cheeks won't go away, they're painful, and itchy. My face is still dry, and burns at times. I can tell the treatment is taking many layers off of my skin, because it feels very soft, and looks shiny (in a good way).

Still I have seen the most improvement on/around my nose.
- My blackheads are clearly smaller
- My nose doesn't feel rough like it used to
- I have not gotten any acne on my nose anytime recently

I really wish I could wear foundation, but it doesn't go on smoothly, it burns, and I'm afraid it will break me out more.
I really want to try Revon Colorstay Whipped, Revlon Naked, or Loreal Lumi!

I still feel really self-conscience up close with people, and I feel like people think I don't wash my face!

I still have plenty of cream left over.

Oh! and I really like the Cerave face wash and moisturizer!!
I'll update again soon :)

Week 4: Still dry!

What have I experienced this week?

• Still very dry skin, mostly around my mouth still (see photo below)
• A couple of new pimples
• Milia on my chin still remains
• The scaly feeling around my nose is gone
• I feel like my complexion is a little bit more glowy! 
• The blackheads on my nose have shrinked, and my nose feels soft!

 Sorry this is such a disgusting view of my face! I just wanted you to be able to see how dry the skin around my mouth is. I'm not sure how long this is supposed to last, it's still pretty painful, and makes me pretty self-conscious.

 Everything basically looks the same as before, I wish my scars would leave my cheeks! I'm very glad the redness around my nose has decreased though :)

I try not to pick at/touch my face. It is a bad habit I need to break. 

I have not worn makeup in over a week...my face still doesn't allow foundation or powder, and I haven't even bothered with eyeshadow.

My boyfriend did actually think I was wearing foundation which made me happy! The treatment does add some color to me (more of a reddish color I feel), but my complexion is definitely brighter!

I'm sure the winter weather doesn't help the dryness, but I make sure to apply plenty of SPF to my face during the day. 

I will update again soon!
